Crystal Snowflake Sighthound Collar

How to measure your sighthound for a luxury leather dog collar

Whether you have a tiny Italian Greyhound, a Whippet, Greyhound, lurcher or any of the numerous breeds of sighthound, there's one thing you are probably painfully familiar with.

They are amazing collar escape artists.

Due to the shape of their necks they can easily back out of a poorly fitted collar, so a tailor made collar from Petiquette Collars will help eliminate this stressful part of walking these beautiful dogs.

How to measure your sighthound's neck

Rather than measuring the middle of the neck as you would with most dog breeds, it's essential to measure the narrowest part of the neck on a sighthound.

Follow our guide and check the photo for where you should measure your dog for a luxury leather dog collar.

Step 1

With your dog standing comfortably, wrap a soft tape measure, or piece of string if you don't have a tape measure, around the part of the neck at line B on the photograph.

The tape measure should be touching the fur but not constricting the neck. Please don't add any fingers underneath the tape measure, as this can lead to incorrect sizing.

Step 2

Make a note of this measurement and take a look at the sizes available for our collars. Choose the collar size which at it's smallest measurement is as close to the neck measurement you have just taken.

For example, if your dog's neck at line B measures approximately 11", then you would select an 11"-13" collar size.

Perfect for crisp winter walks, this sighthound collar features 3 hand-sewn white snowflakes, each with a dazzling Swarovski crystal at its centre.

The sighthound collar will be made by hand in our Northumberland workshop using soft, glossy Italian leather in any colour you choose. Just take a look at our range of colours and pick out your favourite shade.

We’ll line the inside of the collar with soft white calf leather so it will fit like a glove and feel gorgeously comfy from the moment it comes out of the box. There are no rough edges to cause rubbing or irritation.

The collar has been specifically designed to support your sighthound’s slender neck. It is 2” wide, tapering to a 1” buckle and strap, with a handy D-ring for easy lead attachment.

Need a new lead?

A new leather dog lead will complement your sighthound’s new collar. It will be made in the same shade of soft Italian leather, with a D-ring in the handle so you can clip it round your shoulder or waist while your dog is off lead.

Petiquette handmade leather dog leads are around 1 metre long and available in a range of widths.

Customer Reviews

I've now had three petiquette collars, and they are not only beautiful, but also extremely well made and very hard wearing. I would not have any other collars now, and would highly recommend them to anyone who wants their dog to stand out from the crowd. Always get compliments on how lovely they look. Well done, Petiquette!
